Abstract

Abstract A lock plate (2) is secured to a door (1) or the like, by means of two upper and two lower securing means (4,5). A recess formed in one side edge (1b) of the door is arranged to accommodate a lock housing (10) having a lock pillar (12) which covers the recess. The lock pillar (12) is secured by an upper and a lower screw (6) which simultaneously serve as anchoring elements to lock the plate securing means against rotation. Each of the securing means comprises a screw-thread (5) provided with an opening or recess (5d) and co-operating with a screw element (4) which is non-rotatably received in a hole in the plate (2). Each of the anchoring screws (6) is passed through two screw-threaded sleeves (5) provided with recesses and located on mutually the same level. The anchoring screws (6) co-act with two sleeve parts (7,8) which partially surround said screws, of which sleeve parts one (7) is screw-threaded for engagement with the screw thread. The sleeve parts (7,8) are introduced into the spaces located between the upper side and underside respectively of the lock housing and adjacent surfaces defining the recess (1c) for the lock housing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 124 words
An anchoring arrangement for a door plate of a lock, said plate being secured to a door or the like by means of at least one upper and one lower securing means, said door accommodating a lock housing secured in a recess formed in a side edge of the door adjacent said plate and covered by a lock pillar, said securing means each cooperating with an anchoring element inserted from the pillar side of the door, said securing means including a rotatable part which is locked against rotation by the anchoring element inserted from the lock-pillar side of the door, each of said anchoring elements comprising a screw, and wherein said screws also secure the lock pillar to the side edge of the door.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 124 words
An anchoring arrangement for a door plate of a lock, said plate being secured to a door or the like by means of at least one upper and one lower securing means, said door accommodating a lock housing secured in a recess formed in a side edge of the door adjacent said plate and covered by a lock pillar, said securing means each cooperating with an anchoring element inserted from the pillar side of the door, said securing means including a rotatable part which is locked against rotation by the anchoring element inserted from the lock-pillar side of the door, each of said anchoring elements comprising a screw, and wherein said screws also secure the lock pillar to the side edge of the door.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said anchoring element is passed through a hole in the rotatable part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 2, wherein said rotatable part comprises a screw-threaded sleeve provided with an opening and a screw-head.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 3, wherein said screw-threaded sleeve co-operates with a screw element non-rotatably passed through a hole in the door plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 48 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 1, wherein said screws are at least partially enclosed by a two-part sleeve having a part on each side of a securing means, the thread of each screw meshing with a thread in the remote sleeve part relative to the screw head.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 72 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 5, in which said plate is secured by means of two upper and two lower securing means, wherein one anchoring element screw is passed through the two upper securing means, a further anchoring element screw is passed through the two lower securing means, and the end of each screw extends beyond its associated two-part sleeve and enters the second upper and second lower securing means, respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 37 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 5, wherein at least one of said sleeve parts has at least one planar side which engages, either directly or indirectly, the upper part or bottom part of the lock housing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 37 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 7, wherein said at least one sleeve part further has at least one planar side which engages, either directly or indirectly, a surface defining the recess for accommodating the lock housing.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 40 words
An anchoring arrangement according to claim 5, wherein the end of the screw extends from the other side of the screw-threaded sleeve part and enters a recess or opening of a further securing means to lock the same against rotation.
